Summary: This is a protocol for transient transfection of the Icthyosporean Abeoforma whisleri. This protocol has an efficiency of 1-2% calculated from fluorescent positive cell from Flow Cytometry data, using the amount of cells and DNA described in the protocol. Increasing DNA from above 1 microgram/microliter does not increase transfection.

Summary: This protocol we have used for the electroporation of mRNA encoding reporter gene Lucipherase into following organisms: Chromera velia, Alexandrium minutum, Euglena gracilis, Pyramimonas parkease, Pyramimonas orientalis, Eutreptiella gymnastica, Pseudonitzschia multiseries and Trichomonas vaginalis (a control). In any case we have not detected a specific lucipharease activity.

Summary: The origin of animals, which occurred over 600 million years ago, left no evidence in the fossil record. To trace the earliest events in animal prehistory, we compare extant animals to their closest living relatives, the choanoflagellates, in order to reconstruct the gene content of their last common ancestor and how it evolved on the stem lineage leading to animals. In this project, we increase the accuracy of ancestral animal and choanoflagellate gene content reconstructions by sequencing the transcriptomes of 19 species of choanoflagellates selected for their phylogenetic diversity.

Summary: This protocol was used to express a nourseothricin (nou/nat) resistance gene and a gene encoding a silaffin precursor TpSil3p-APEX2 fusion protein in Thalassiosira pseudonana (Tp) strain CCMP1335 using conjugation by largely following Karas et al. (2015). In addition to the protocol, I am listing some of my observations working with this diatom species. Please check the 'Before start' and 'Guidelines' sections for more information including a list of Tp episomes I've constructed and which are available upon request. For additional background on my overacrching experimental aim, please refer to this document. 1. E. V. Armbrust, The Genome of the Diatom Thalassiosira Pseudonana: Ecology, Evolution, and Metabolism. Science. 306, 79–86 (2004).2. B. J. Karas et al., Designer diatom episomes delivered by bacterial conjugation. Nat. Commun. 6, 6925 (2015).Keeping in mind that diatom episomes contain a yeast centromere, it would be very interesting to see if conjugation could be adapted to organisms beyond diatoms.
